Five New Species of New Zealand Hemiandrus Ander 1938 Ground wētā (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five new species of ground wētā endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand are described based on morphological traits and informed by phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences. Hemiandrus briarae sp. nov. is a robust species living on mountains in northeast South Island, and H. dryadis sp. nov. is a gracile denizen of forests in northwest South Island.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 272-284, March 2026.
In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...
